In April, Dallas SWE had the pleasure of joining SMU’s collegiate SWE section for an evening panel — and what a conversation it was!
A huge thank you to our incredible panelists, Ella Deane, Tiffany Nesbit, and Rana Karimi, for showing up with so much openness and wisdom. From navigating the leap from academia to industry, to career pivots, negotiating your worth, and building financial foundations with 401(k)s — you all covered it all with honesty and heart.
To the SMU SWE section — thank you for hosting us and for creating such a welcoming space for these conversations. You all are a reminder of just how bright the future of engineering is. We look forward to more conversations like this soon!
To the students in attendance, especially those crossing the graduation stage this season — congratulations! The world of engineering is lucky to have you, and we cannot wait to see all that you accomplish. Wishing you the very best as you step into your next chapter. 🎓✨
